KatyQuilts

I’ve been digging through old quilts and came across this one. I should try to get better pics to show the quilting.

Mr. Wonderful and I have been riding every chance we get. We happened upon this old fast station last weekend. I totally understand my dad’s obsession with his motorcycle now.

E2 never fails to make me laugh. He’s a Nana’s boy and saved me a seat next to him at the restaurant last week.

E3 and I made pudding together. Kids love using these egg beater/ mixers. My kids loved it when they were little.

And this little green dishes? My mom made pudding and jello in them when my siblings and I were small.

Winslow loves raspberries. She checks to see if there are any ripe ones every time we go out the back door.

I recently finished this book and quite enjoyed it. You may as well.

Have a great day!

My local solo show is coming up soon. As I was busy finishing hanging sleeves, I decided to make one more piece.

Eh…..not so much.

But sometimes, you just have to start moving things around in order for inspiration to hit.

I top stitched all the bias tape down (thanks, Anne!).

Then I cut circles with my die cutter.

I made tiny yo-yos.

Now I’m stitching them down.

This method makes the circles appear stuffed.

Stay tuned….

Have a great day!

A friend gave me this big pile of postage stamp blocks last fall.

She had pieced them over a number of years on different machines and they didn’t all end up the same size.

I’ve been debating how to set them ever since. I have had the following quilt pinned for ages and I suddenly decided I might be able to kill two birds with one stone.

I think this has potential. Although, I’m not satisfied with the setting fabric.

I’ll keep looking. Have a great day!

The mister and I went out for lunch after church last Sunday and then for a nice long bike ride. So I didn’t get far on this. I do now have the Star basted in place.

I learned about back basted appliqué from a tutorial by Jeanna Kimball. I’m not great at it, but this seems to work best for me.

I also added one more row to this project. Someday it will be done.

I’m getting the itch for a big hand quilting project, but I won’t let myself start until this is done.

Have a great day!

I’m making slow, but sure progress on these blocks.

This little man had a great time making emojis out of fun foam with my new die!

He also enjoyed making a quilt cave!

These two got haircuts.

They weren’t thrilled, but they look better!

Finally, a book recommendation. I’ve enjoyed every Kate Morton book I’ve read. And this was no exception.

That’s all for now. Have a great day!

You all know how much I love my AccuQuilt die cutters, and many of you do as well. Do you have a GO! Me and wished you had a full sized cutter? Or a GO! And wished you had the electric GO! Big?

Then this deal is for you!

AccuQuilt just came out with a new program called Trade Up and GO!

You can get your credit as a refund, or as reward points to use in the future.

What? You don’t yet have an AccuQuilt cutter? You are in luck! Now until the end of July, you can get a GO! Me for just $99.99. I love my little GO! Me. My grand kids love it too. It comes with two dies and a mat do you can try it out as soon as you open the box.

In fact, I’ve designed a pattern using just the dies that come with the GO! Me. You can find the free download here. Does that make it a steal? I so appreciate each time you downloads pattern I’ve designed for AccuQuilt . It doesn’t cost you anything, but I get a tiny commission to help support the blog.

Okay, say you don’t need a cutter, but you could use a die or two. I’ve got another cAccuQuilt code for you.

I hope you find something here to spark your creativity and improve your quilting life. Clearly, I’m a huge fan of AccuQuilt or I wouldn’t be an affiliate and GO! Getter. I’ve had issues with my shoulders and hands for years, but my die cutters have allowed me to continue doing what I love to do. Rest assured, I never share products that I do not use and love myself. I greatly appreciate all my readers and the support you show me.

Have a great day!
